astrology

Zodiac-based forecasting system

Astrology is the study of celestial bodies—stars, planets, the moon—as influences on human affairs and earthly events.

Practitioners interpret birth charts and planetary alignments to describe personality traits or predict outcomes: What's your sign?

Though once intertwined with astronomy, astrology now lacks scientific standing and is typically regarded as pseudoscience or entertainment.
